How we scrape Waitrose groceries

  1. You send

    Waitrose pages, filters, fields and a schedule

  2. We run the scrapers

    Built, monitored and repaired by our team

  3. You receive the data

    API, JSON feed or CSV, XLSX and JSON files

You choose the scope - departments such as Fresh & Chilled or Beer, Wine & Spirits, a list of searches, the Offers section, or your own brand wherever it sits in the shop. We build and run the crawler and fix it when waitrose.com changes its layout; rendering, pacing, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA handling are part of the service, not extras.

Runs are daily, weekly or one-off, and every delivery comes with field documentation describing each column. Rows are keyed on the Waitrose line number, so a product renamed or moved to another shelf stays one record. A free project assessment and a sample of your categories come first. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

Waitrose data from product cards and pages

Each Waitrose product lives at /ecom/products/ followed by a slug and an ID whose first six digits are the Waitrose line number - 053448 for a two-pint bottle of Essential British Free Range Semi-Skimmed Milk. The line number is the stable key across runs. Fields our Waitrose scraper returns:

  • Identityline number, product name, size as printed (1.136litre, 300ml, 6s, 4x100 sheets), brand or own label range, image and URL.
  • Categorythe breadcrumb from Groceries to the leaf shelf, for example Fresh & Chilled, Milk, Butter & Eggs, Milk, Semi-Skimmed Milk, 2 Pints.
  • Pricesitem price and price per unit (per litre, per kg or each), the Was price, and for weighed goods the typical weight with the estimated each price.
  • Offersthe offer line as printed: Half Price, Save 1/3, money-off savings with the Was price, Mix & Match multibuys and meal deals, plus My Waitrose offers, shown as an Offer Item price and Offer Price per unit beside the standard price.
  • Badges and tagsNew, New lower price and Sponsored, tags such as Organic, Free range, Microwaveable, Freezable, Large pack, Award winning or Entertaining, and the Serves count where a line shows one.
  • Ratingsstar rating and review count.
  • Product detailssummary and marketing copy, ingredients with allergens in bold, allergy advice, lifestyle notes such as suitable for vegetarians, front-of-pack traffic lights with reference intakes, the full nutrition table, storage and usage advice, cooking instructions, manufacturer's address, country of origin, and the recycling table of components, materials and whether each is recyclable.

Own label lines - Essential Waitrose, Waitrose, No.1 and Duchy Organic - are flagged, so private label analysis needs no lookup table.

Waitrose price history, offers and price drops

Waitrose price history, offers and price drops

Waitrose marks its own price moves on the card. New lower price sits on items whose price has been cut, with the old figure shown as Was; offers print their saving next to the Was price, and new lines carry a New badge. Read daily, these labels build a price history per line number in which permanent cuts, temporary offers and launches can be told apart, and price drops carry their dates.

  • Offers hubHalf Price, Save 1/3, Up to 25% off, Multi buy and My Waitrose Offers, each browsable by category, plus meal deal bundles that combine a main with sides.
  • Search and category gridsthe order under Popularity sorting, Sponsored slots, and the Dietary & Lifestyle and Waitrose Brands sections of the menu.
  • New Lower Price sectionWaitrose gathers its cut prices in a section of their own, so every cut can be logged, not only those in the categories you follow.
  • Ratings over timerating and review count per run; reviewer names are left out under GDPR.

Waitrose & Partners is the supermarket of the John Lewis Partnership, and waitrose.com is its online grocery shop, with delivery and collection booked by slot. The menu splits into Groceries, Offers, Entertaining, New and Recipes, with seasonal sections such as Christmas, while Waitrose Cellar and Dishpatch are linked as separate specialist shops.

The catalog is a deep tree: Groceries, then departments such as Fresh & Chilled, Bakery, Food Cupboard, Frozen, Beer, Wine & Spirits, Household, Pet and Baby & Toddler, then shelves down to pack size. Waitrose's own label runs in tiers - Essential Waitrose for everyday lines, Waitrose, the No.1 range and Duchy Organic - alongside branded goods, and some categories carry sourcing pledges such as Always British, always free range for its pork.

My Waitrose is the loyalty scheme. Its offers appear on the public site as an offer price next to the standard one, so the member price is readable without signing in.

Waitrose price comparison and other uses

Waitrose shows how a partnership-owned grocer prices, discounts and labels its range, and the cards carry enough structure to measure it.

  • Price comparisonprice per unit is printed in a common unit within a shelf, per litre for milk and per kg for mince, so Waitrose lines compare with other retailers' shelves without converting pack sizes.
  • Promotion depththe share of a category on Half Price, Save 1/3 or Mix & Match, and how long each offer runs.
  • Price cut trackingNew lower price events by category, a direct read on where the retailer is investing in price.
  • Own label positioningEssential Waitrose, No.1 and branded goods side by side in the same shelf.
  • Brand monitoringsuppliers see their listing, offer mechanics, rating and Sponsored placements as a shopper sees them.
  • Nutrition researchtraffic lights and full nutrition tables feed reformulation studies and diet apps.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt is a web data company that runs scraping projects end to end: crawler, schedule, repairs and delivery are on our side. UK grocery is a good fit for that model, because offers come and go and a single shelf mixes own label tiers, brands and multibuys. Waitrose datasets go out as CSV, Excel or JSONLines, by FTP, Google Cloud Storage, Dropbox or Google Drive, or through our API and a JSON feed. GDPR governs how we treat any personal detail in the data.

FAQ

Still unsure? Write to info@scrapeit.io

Do you offer a Waitrose API for prices and offers?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Waitrose API returns the line number, item price, price per unit, Was price, offer text and My Waitrose offer price as JSON from an endpoint we host, on the schedule you choose. The same records can also come as CSV or XLSX files, a JSON feed or a direct load into your database.

Is it legal to scrape Waitrose?

Yes. Prices, offers, ratings, ingredients and nutrition sit on the product pages every visitor opens. We collect only publicly available data - everything a shopper can see on Waitrose - and we collect it legally.

Can you track Waitrose price drops and New lower price badges?

Yes. Daily runs record the item price, the Was price and the badge per line number, so a price cut shows up with its date and the old price beside it. Lines that lose the badge or the offer are recorded too, so the end of a cut is dated as well as its start.

Which Waitrose offers can you collect?

Every mechanic the site prints: Half Price, Save 1/3, percentage and money-off savings, Mix & Match multibuys, meal deals and My Waitrose offers. We keep the offer line as printed and also split it into type, quantity and price, so offers filter without parsing text.

How are Waitrose prices for weighed products delivered?

Lines sold by weight, such as loose root ginger or a gammon joint, carry an estimated each price instead of a fixed one, and many also print a typical weight. We deliver the typical weight, the estimated price and the price per kg in separate columns, with a flag marking the row as an estimate.
